Don't get me wrong, I am seriously impressed with Carrara pro after using Poser for a year or so.  I don't think I'll ever get used to the reversed pull / push motion for navigation on the z axis.  Is there any way this can be re-assigned in the opposite direction?

Also, I have a few questions regarding the interface.

Why are bulb lights so huge in the preview view?  Can these be re-sized?
Why is there absolutely no indication of what lights will do in preview?  Am I missing something - there seems to be a huge infinite light on all the time and point/bulb or spot lights don't show up at all until rendered.
Morphs don't seem to go over 1.0 - can this be changed?
Is there a good basic guide to get up to speed?

Thanks for any help.
